Adoption Information

Here at the Humane Society, every effort is made to place animals in good homes with responsible pet owners who are willing to make a lifelong commitment to the animal. The HSWC believes pet ownership is a privilege, not a right. Potential pet owners are counseled about the responsibilities of pet ownership before adoption. Because the key to reducing the number of unwanted animals is pet population control, each animal is spayed/neutered before adoption.
